Announcing the Distilled SearchLove’s Startups Competition

At Distilled, we are fortunate enough to get to work with a number of startups like Reevoo, Huddle, Razoo and GiftRocket. Most of the startups we speak to know that SEO is a crucial part of their marketing plan, and they rely heavily on search to increase traffic, clients and even brand awareness.

We love seeing what startups are able to do with SEO, as their speed and “get things done” attitude allows them to be creative and generate some real cutting-edge work. Inspired by the success stories we have heard recently, we decided that it would be great to hear more about how startups use SEO to help grow their business and to reward them for their great efforts.

With that, we’re excited to announce the SearchLove Startup Competition!

This October we are hosting SearchLove, our renowned advanced SEO conference, in New York City for the first time. The conference is scheduled for October 31st and November 1st.

With a line-up of industry experts presenting their most advanced SEO tactics, the two days will be a great chance for a startup to pick up a ton of tips and ideas to take back to their team. Our winners will also automatically be signed up for a site clinic with a top SEO. If that’s not enough, there will also be a rocking Halloween party on the 31st!

The Competition

It’s simple - Just let us know about how SEO has rocked your world.

We are looking for is an awesome story and love examples of hustle, humor, and all around cleverness! Details that will help us evaluate are:

Amazing results -> ROI for the win
